The purpose of this study was to clarify a mechanism of sport participation of preschool children. Three items composed of parents' social achieved status, parents' interest in sport and parents' educational eagerness were investigated. Data were collected from 271 parents whose children attended kindergarten at Tokyo (sport-school participants 129, non-participants 142). As the results, participants' group was higher than non-participants' at all three items. Thus, it seems that sport participation of preschool children is influenced by both parents' interest in sport and parents' educational eagerness, associated with parents' socio-economic background. At the same time, mother's role as a general socializing agent was closed up. In future, a longitudinal study including the details of parents' interest in their children in sport may be necessary.
